What does it mean to be “masculine.” Unfortunately, there are a lot of conflicting ideas and messages about what a “real man” is (and is not). In today’s episode, author, nationally syndicated radio show host, and Enneagram Five, Brant Hansen challenges us to redefine masculinity and paints a refreshing picture of what it looks like at its absolute best.  

We have an insightful conversation about the:

• importance of expressing feelings and affection
• value of protecting others from a place of kindness and love, rather than control and anger
• core task men need to take responsibility for, and
• Six decisions that set men apart from others  

Brant’s vulnerability and openness will genuinely move you.
